WDIV reports Detroit nonprofit’s evening food market serves 700 to 800 people each week

WDIV reported that SDM2 Project Education’s Mom’s Market provides free groceries and a hot meal to an estimated 700 to 800 people each Tuesday evening in northwest Detroit. The program, launched in May, was designed for working single mothers who cannot attend daytime food distributions and lets families select fresh produce, dairy, bread, prepared food and rescued groceries.

Status matters. This page records a sourced development, not a completed No Halo investigation. An allegation is not a finding. Dismissals, settlements, judgments, corrections and final outcomes remain distinct.
